Seventh day of the adventure on German soil. The European championship has begun, with the Italian national team ready to take to the field this evening, against Spain, to qualify for the round of 16, and continue the journey to try to defend the title arrived in 2021. Since it is summer EURO 2024 it could prove to be a particularly interesting showcase for the transfer market. The editorial team of MilanPress.it he then proposes the column “A talent a day“, as happened at the World Cup in Qatar in 2022.
In these lines you will not read anything real regarding the market (or at least, at the time of writing the article), but real fantasies for the new Milan Of Paulo Fonseca, respecting parameters and maintaining tactical coherence if possible. Until July 14th we will have fun, hoping to… pack our bags and go to Berlin. The seventh day opened with the match between Slovenia and Serbia, but our focus today is on Denmark-Englandscheduled at 6pm, and a new track in defense: here’s Victor Kristiansen, an identikit from Devil.

History
The 2002-born player, who grew up in Copenhagen’s youth sector, made his first team debut on 29 November 2020 during the Superligaen match won 3-1 against SønderjyskE. Already from the first races, the impression they had of him in Denmark was that they had found a great talent. In fact, his journey in Northern Europe did not last long, as the eyes of the top clubs fell on him. After 73 appearances in the shirt Copenhagenseasoned with 1 goal and 8 assists, moves to Leicester City, with a record: Kristiansen is the player pmore paid of the Superligaen, or 14 million euros. After a year of experience with the English club, and not the best feeling with the environment, the Dane moved to Bologna, bewitched by his run. The operation ends with a loan with right of redemption for 15 million, for the Emilian club. Despite the Champions League won, the rossoblù could do not redeem it. In the meantime, the eyes of the Milan management could focus on him.
Technical features
He is definitely not Theo Hernandez, he absolutely cannot reach his level, they are two totally different and incomparable footballers. The Dane doesn’t have massive muscles like Theo, but he has a great run and works a lot for the team. We will never see him make sudden raids in the offensive zone: Victor prefers to keep a balanced position on the pitch, only to then attack spaces to get to the back and cross. He is an intelligent player: tactically prepared, he rarely gets into difficulty in 1 vs 1 matches. For Thiago Motta he was a useful player, who he used 34 times, with 4 assists provided to his teammates and… one winning agreement with Joshua Zirkzee. The Dutch striker’s goal was wonderful after a splendid exchange with the full-back born in 2002.
In this European, Kristiansen played 78 minutes, against Slovenia, doing a good job both in the defensive phase and in the pushing phase, being among the best on the pitch among the Danish team. His good performance led to his reconfirmation among the starters in Denmark-England, which will be on the pitch in a few minutes.
It’s not a certainty yet, but he is certainly a player to keep an eye on, especially for his technical and defensive qualities. Who knows, maybe at a good price he could become an excellent reserve like deputy Theo Hernandez.
